Gentlemen,
I am all but sold on building a 6.5 Sherman.
Before I pull the trigger, pun intended , I want to get a little more data to make the decision.
At what velocity are those of you who own the 6-5 06, (Ai) is also under consideration or the 6.5X284 reaching your upper accuracy node.
In essence, I can get more velocity out of the Sherman but if I have to back off the throttle to get the accuracy, and that brings me in line with the other more main stream calibers, that may impact my decision.
So I am not interested in Max Velocity unless that is where your getting your accuracy sweet spot.
I am interested in shooting the 140 gr bullets.
My barrel will be a 8.5 twist.
Thanks in advance.
